SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF AM? THE BLIND. Codar Spring, S. C., Oct 17, 1914. -? <!>,. Vnlnrn nf thn StaLn of South Carolina: At the last .meeting, of tho General1 Assembly, at our suggestion, two amendments to our Statu Constitution were proposed for the betterment of ! this school to be voled upon by you Jt thc coming general election. If thc.e two proposed amendments aro appro ved by thu people of thia state 1 voting "Yes" upon both of thom the Schcol for thc Duci and tho mind will no longer bc classified with the j Penal and Charitable but with tho Educational Department of tho stale. In order to effect this change of claa- j slflcatlou lt is necessary to amend our constitution in two places. First it is necessary to so amend as tv> take tho school from tho Penal and Char il ab lu Section. A second amendment { lo necessary to.place thc school- under he Educational Section. At tba coining^ general election in VT.-.. ,-.1.-.- ...... ...Itt I.- ..I-1-A MttiuUDi j U.1H ty:; wjauu V\? VttDl /oui." I.a?Ql eithor for or against these two proposed amendments. Knowii that tho people of this state will uni formly vote "Yes" on these two amendments ptovlded thoy are in formed as to their importance to this scnooi, I deem it my duly, as tue rep resentativo of this school, to address thia letter to you. A century ago the deaf and the blind children of these United States i were .allowed to remain a burden to their parents and their friends. About a half century ago, great ' advance- ! ment had boen moue when a large1 majority of the states had estab lished schools under the name of1 "Asylunis" for the deaf and the blind children. So ignorant wove the masses of the people in regard to the ability ! and needs of these children that they could not disassociate the charitable Idea from a deaf and a blind child. I Hit thero bas como a general awak ening in all our states. They are rec ognizing the fact inii? ?voi y iltJ? ara every b'.lnd child within tho bounds ot these United States has a right to ' hope for an education and a right to j hope that it will not be handed out to him with the label of charity upon lt while his more fortunate brothers and sisters get tho sumo thing and there ls not the suspicion of charity j with iL The. work done at our school ls educational In the highest sense for lt includes Instruction along lit erary, musical, industrial, VhyslcaU] and moral Unes. Our graduates are successful men and women winning their way in the world and gaining' the respect of the people around them; they are never objects of charity and the school that makes them should not be classed with the penal and ^charitable work | of our state. For years, for all prac tical purposes, our classification has I been educational but legally we have j carried the clamp pf charity upon us. To take, away th? hist vestige of tl?? charity idea from our school I re snectfullv ask that your voto "Yes,r upon both of these proposed amend ments. ' Then I say to the boys and girls under my care and to the large end respected alumni of oar school that South Carolina will no longer stamp charity upon the educa tion ehe is giving, and will continue to give so freely to her deaf and her blind children. Feeling sure that tho pc-op' . >i tills ?tate wUl .gladly avail themselves ,ot the opportunity to vpto "Yes" upon both these amendments, l an;, ? , Yours very truly, N. F.

Another week past, a month-yea think of lt; Just a month ago we were grumbling it wasn't fair that we should have to walk the long way to Kennedy Street School, and when Professor Chambers said "How many properties has a verb? Name them you? you, you, you" so rapidly that if tho least bit of you mind was aome other place you might ns well Bay ono, you'd hardly havo time to say that, but now we answer "Five," etc, equal ly as quickly as the question was ask ed. But why shouldn't we? Haven't we a beautiful building, costing be tween twenty and thirty thousand dollars? Haven't wc tho very best desks that can be bought? Isn't the building kept se ru plo indy clean? Don't we take domestic science? Don't the hoya take manuel training? Aren't we to have the "Camp Fire Girls?" Of course, and many other things. Wo don't have tho sign "positively no admittance." We welcome visitors. Wo make some mistakes as a student giving the principal parts of the verb froezo gave aa follows "freeze, froze, frizzled." We aro starting Uje year to have good work and a good time. Singing has begun In the fifth and fourth grade? and will, in time, come to our grados.

Lyceum Course at the College. - Tho first entertainment of the Ly ce mn course was a decided a access, and wes a foretaste of tho other good thing? that are to follow. The spon sor* for this ocurso, tho Ladles Col lege Association, have IO conjunction with the authorities of the college, se lected a high order of entertainment for th's course, believing that this ls what tho people of Anderson would want and wou\d support. It is a very inexpensive course, averaging about $150.00 for each entertainment. It was possible, of course, to get a series of much cheaper entertainments, but^thc college has gone, into this in tho nu llor that .Anderson waals only the best. Jn this day of cheap and trashy attractions it is much to the honor of a city to support a course of enter tainments that a.o clean and Instruc tive. It has beon said that Russell Con well's lecturo on "Acres of Dia monds" ls worth tho price of the whole course. In one city in which this lecture was given it was suggest ed t.h&i the city council bring him back to make tho lecturo a second time "for the good of the etty." Tho ladles of tho College Association are selling tho tickets for the course at a very mod orate, prlco, and tt is hop ed that every one, who wishes to help id good cause and at' the same time pr?vido four evenings of good enter tainment, will buy one.

Tho first lyceum attraction, The Dekoven Quartet, will bo .given,.in the school auditorium Friday evening, October 30. ? %fc??*. Tho following debate was written*' by Frances Bhirley* ? Resolved, That the study Of Eng lish composition is more important than the study of bookkeeping. ? * For several reasons I say that the < r.?uiiy cf 1*^""l'?>* oe"1 Tvr*T'*'rm laman important than the study of book keeping. First. In the study of English composition. correct writing, correct speaking and correct Apolline are promoted-three things .which aro very important for everybody to knu .r. person learns from thia study how to express himself lp a free and easy manner and ap clearly that everybody can understand what lie means. . Secondly, a person ls Judged by the kind of English he used in. writing and in speaking. Many people.,hw* been daprivod ot good positions by sending in applications written in correctly. . Do you think a person ap plying for a position as a bookkeep er would be given the position il he did not know bow to write-bia appli cation -^/irrnrit lu ? Tn ' piomt.. rajima ha certainly would not. Thirdly, it is important for every body to know how to write correctly, but lt is not necessary.for everybody to know bookkeeping. No matter what position you held yon will be . expected io write correctly. Therefore, since tho study ot Eng lish composition promotes correct writing, correct spuakinj; and correct spelling; since, a prscn is judged hy the English he dses In writing" and in speaking; and since ny matter what posiUon you boW. yea will be' oxpocted to write correctly, the de cision should gp .to the .ainymatlvo. tv*--^~ o o o o o o o ?. o ooo o o o o .o' ' ' ' - i ?
